So that's what we're doing, conference by conference. First up, the 2016 SEC Football recap. And, of course, the usual chatter about candy bars, preferred sandwich meats, summer pants and Polo-and-Slacks Guy.

How will the CFP committee handle the Ohio State-Michigan-Penn State conundrum?

This weekend, more than ever, we need college football. Mercifully, thanks to Luke and Canada, they're laying out the week's highlights before Saturday even arrives.

01:03:36

Week 10 Recap | The Upsets Finally Come

The upsets finally came on Saturday. Particularly in the SEC, where both Florida and Texas A&M took tumbles. The opposite happened in the Pac-12, where Washington, Colorado, Washington State and USC looked downright dominant.

01:08:50

Week 10 Preview | It's a Danny Etling World

The CFP committee's first rankings are out, and they're about what you'd expect. A little less Washingtony, perhaps, but it's an oversight that has little true bearing on the season. All that with a dash of Week 10 Preview (uninspiring as it may be). Listen up:

01:06:18

Week 9 Recap | Craig Bohl Gives You Wings

Week 7 Recap | Bama's A'ight

Canada and Luke are back, like Jordan wearing the 4-5, and they've got a headful of knowledge to drop on close wins by Ohio State, Clemson and Louisville. And Washington State. And Arkansas.

Week 4 Preview | Here We Go

Week 4 is here and, once again, we save you a ton of time by just telling you how all the high-profile games will go on Saturday. You don't even need to watch Wisconsin-Michigan State now.

Week 3 Recap | A Week of Almosts

Week 3 is in the books, a Saturday full of almosts. Wisconsin almost lost to Georgia State. Mizzou almost upset Georgia. Florida State almost stayed within six touchdowns of Louisville. Look back over the week that was with CA and Luke. They still hate most teams (especially yours!).

2017-10-05 03:36:05 UTC

50:57

Week 2 Recap | It Was College Football

Week 2 is in the books, the most notable highlights of which were probably an officiating error and a couple of bad wins. Still, it was probably more exciting -- or at least portentous -- than expected, with Washington continuing to roll, Tennessee possibly getting back on track, and Arkansas scoring a big upset over TCU. Recap 'em all on this week's ep!

01:03:27

Week 2 Preview | Bad CFB Is Better Than Good Anything Else

A fantastic Week 1 is behind us, and Week 2 is . . . still football. Look, yes, TCU-Arkansas and Tennessee-Va Tech are probably the best games of the week. But we just got through months of no football, this is way better than the alternative. And don't you want to see if Western Kentucky is twice as good as USC, as Vegas seems to think?
